Selina was one of the staples from Bravissimo. It looks like it gets discontinued finally in 2021 as all colours are on sale now.
I have this in the long- gone star print, thought I review it before the bra is completely gone - so you can grab one if you are interested.
So this is one of the better bras from Bravissimo imo for large cups. The fabric is smooth and there is no embroiderie (remember 4 years ago when Selina launched almost all Bravissimo bras hat embroiderie) so it's almost smooth enough to function as a T-shirt bra. I say almost, depending on how thin your t-shirt is, ... the seams could show. It also feels sturdy and decent quality.
Moving on to the fit. my shape: narrow - medium wide tall root, full on top, center heavy and projected.
The bra is more open than most balconettes by Bravissimo (Melrose, Alana etc) there is no cutting in. Wires are medium wide, sturdy and tall. I think they are what you can expect in this size, nothing too wide or tall. Cups are quite shallow. So this causes issues for me, which is mostly that the gore just won't tack. It never did in any size I tried in this bra. Even when I had an obviously too large size. (gonna review 32KK too) The bra is despite that still supportive.
It also gives a nice round uplifted shape.
The only problem aside from the gore I had was that the bra can start to hurt me after longer time of wear. It doesn't always happen, some days I'm fine with it on other days I have to remove it mid-day- I think the wire gets pushed down a bit since it's too shallow in center and bottom for me which causes pain.
So it's not quite 100% for me and I would not repurchase but it will stay in my rotation.

I love this print so much but I have doubts about this style and my shape!
